Well did ya ever?

Now ain't that a kick in the head? Yeah baby! Rrrrraaar! ;)


MORE TO COME





And....We're back

Does anyone but me have good taste? I mean you like those Italian shirts and nicely cut slacks? You find yourself wanting to try things on and then you look at the price tag and wonder...

"You want me to honestly give up around HALF my paycheck that I just got for a pair of pants?!"

...and so you walk out of the store slightly dejected but still determined to find something that looks nice. You try Hugo Boss and feel as if the clothes are laughing behind your back as you walk in. The $600 jacket actually snickers at you as you pass by it, eyeing it and fingering the material only momentarily. The shirts stare you down as if you say "Yeah, right. Come back when you're a real shopper." And you leave feeling slightly worse for the (yeah you know there's a pun here) wear.

So you try Macy's. It's kinda a gay stand-by don't ya think? Good old Macy's. And after looking at such quality clothing...it all looks like stuff you'd find on the sale racks of Sears now. BORING! And as you wander out grumbling to yourself slightly, you think about Nordstroms which is not that far to walk in the mall...but realize it's going to be more of the same disappointment. You want that pair of $350 Italian pants and the $560 Velvet jacket from Hugo Boss.

....so you go into the last bastion of hope. The store that used to be the crowning glory for you in your gothy youth....Hot Topics. Armed with that gift card that you received for your birthday you are determined that you WILL find something you like, hell, it's Hot Topics for fuck sake! You look at the racks of clothes, realize they aren't for you. Realize that the entire wall is now T-shirts of bands you either don't care about or haven't heard of. And then it really kicks in...there is ABSOLUTELY NO Men's clothing to speak of...let alone anything that looks gothish except for the boots which you're not really that interested in anyway.

Lesson to learn here? I have expensive tastes and not the capital to buy them. Secondly, the malls are evil. Thirdly, Hot Topics is dying a slow death....

Le sigh.

Be safe. Be well. Be PROUD! Be Loved!
